“An Awesome Book of Love” Dallas Clayton
If I was a dinosaur and you were a jet
There’s a chance, a good chance,
That we’d never have met.
If I was a river and you were the sky
If I was down low and you were up high
Or if I was an apple and you were a sundae
If you were a Wednesday and I was a Monday
If you were spring seasons and I was the fall
We might never have gotten together at all.
But we aren’t all of those things
You’re you and I’m me
And we’re as together as together can be
And you know I’m aglow with a smile on my face
When I wonder what magic you’ll make of this place
Of this town, of this world
You’ll transform your surroundings
That spirit inside you is truly astounding…
And when I’m beside you I’m leaping and bounding
So proud I can hardly contain my heart pounding
I love you! I love you! In so many ways
Over thousands of years, over billions of days
I love you so much, I would scream it from mountains
And dance like a fool in the coldest town fountains
I would paint it on walls in colours so bright
That they’ll glow in the dark with “I love you” all night
I would march through the rain, I’d jump out of a plane
Put the world on my back, I’ll still race down a train
And I’ll stand down whole armies defending your name
But you know that’s not all that this love is about
Sometimes it’s a whisper when you feel you could shout
Or just being around when the others have gone
Or about letting go when you want to hold on
It’s about living life with such strength and emotion
And knowing that waves are just part of the ocean
And that ocean, that ocean goes on forever…
Just like the love that has brought us together
I love you! I love you! When I’m holding your hand
I love you! I love you! When you’re making a plan
When you’re thinking a thought, when you’re dancing a dance
When you’re just hanging in, by the seat of your pants
I love you! I love you! I’ll say it again
Tell all the strangers to tell all their friends
Make it a song and we’ll all sing along
I love you! I love you! You make me feel strong
You make me feel younger, you make me feel brave
You make me feel something these words can’t contain
And if you were the future and I was the past
If I was too slow and you were too fast
If you were a cloud and I was a ghost
If you were long distance and I was up close
I’d still love you no matter what sense it would make
I’d love you whenever, whatever it takes
I’d love you no matter, Cause you’re you and I’m me
Together forever, in love as can be.
